Against the Anthropocene – Visual Culture and Environment Today

Audio from the book launch and discussion between T.J. Demos, Nabil Ahmed, and Ros Gray launching Demos' new book: Against the Anthropocene: Visual Culture and Environment Today.

Addressing the current upswing of humanities-based, scientific and environmental arts and attention in relation to the recent proposition that we have entered a new human-driven epoch called the Anthropocene, this new book by cultural critic and art historian T.J. Demos presents a critical overview of that thesis, and its limitations in conceptualisation and in practice.
